Ineffable Skitterer

These tarachnids move with a purpose unknown to others, answering only to a higher calling. Whatever that may be, it appears to include routine assistance to mortals who need a ride. For now.

Acquisition Guide

The Ineffable Skitterer is a Protoform Synthesis mount crafted in Zereth Mortis, obtained by first acquiring the Schematic: Ineffable Skitterer from the Shade of Irik-tu inside Exile's Hollow — accessible only as a ghost.

1

Complete Mount Forge Questline

Before you can use the schematic, you must have completed the questline to unlock the Mount Forge Synthesis in Zereth Mortis. This is a prerequisite for crafting any Protoform Synthesis mount.

2

Die and Enter Exile's Hollow

Find a way to die near Exile's Hollow in Zereth Mortis, then navigate to the cave as a ghost. Once inside, head to the far back left of the cave at 34.6, 48.8 and speak with the Shade of Irik-tu. Agree to leave the cave and she will hand over the schematic, starting the quest Schematic Reassimilation: Ineffable Skitterer.

3

Farm Genesis Motes

Genesis Motes drop from nearly any enemy in Zereth Mortis, with the exception of Mawsworn enemies, so kill whatever is convenient throughout the zone.

4

Obtain the Sentience Crown

The Sentience Crown can be looted from any automa or Jiro enemy. When the quest to kill Dominated Jiro is active, they spawn in high numbers and are quick to kill, making that the most efficient time to farm this item. It is also available on the Auction House.

5

Farm the Tarachnid Lattice

The Tarachnid Lattice drops from any spider enemy in Zereth Mortis. Kill spiders throughout the zone until it drops, or check the Auction House if you prefer to purchase it.

6

Craft the Ineffable Skitterer

With all materials in hand, head to the Mount Forge Synthesis in Zereth Mortis and craft your Ineffable Skitterer.
